11:42:43 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:42:44 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
11:42:44 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:42:44 User actions detected.
11:42:44 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:42:44 Dome is MaxDome
11:42:44 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:42:44 Imager is ASCOM
11:42:44 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:42:44 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250124@111425 UTC
11:42:44 Imager readout modes:
11:42:44   0 is Fast
11:42:44   1 is Normal
11:42:44 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:42:44 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:42:44 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:42:44 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:42:44 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:42:51 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:42:51 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:42:51 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:42:51 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
